Pantheon vs Sion

Updated Jun 3, 2026

Overview

Use Pantheon's early lane pressure to deny Sion a calm scaling phase and prevent him from stacking health with (W).
Prioritize aggressive short trades to snowball early before Sion becomes a durable front line with tank items.

Trading pattern

Engage trades by stunning with (W), follow up with empowered (Q), and block Sion's main counter damage using (E).
Punish Sion immediately after he uses (W) shield or misses his charged (Q) knockup.
Avoid starting trades when (E) is on cooldown or when (Q) charge is fully visible and ready.

Danger windows

Be cautious when Sion has a charged (Q) ready from fog or brush angles; maintain spacing to avoid knockup.
Avoid engaging when (E) is down as Sion's retaliation damage can punish you heavily.
Watch for (R) engage attempts and position to break his path or disengage before impact.

Early game

Push the wave early to force Sion into awkward (Q) charge angles and deny him safe farm.
Use level 2-3 empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to win trades and build a health lead.
Avoid extended trades when (E) is down to prevent Sion from retaliating with his strong burst.

Power spikes

At level 2-3, use empowered (Q), (W), and (E) to force lane dominance and build pressure.
At level 6, crash the wave hard and look to roam with (R) to extend map pressure before Sion can respond.
Respect Sion's level 6 (R) engage and avoid predictable positioning to sidestep his long-range knockup.

Win conditions

Use early empowered trades and point-and-click (W) stun to deny Sion farm and force him behind.
Convert lane pressure into wave crashes to create roam opportunities with (R) and snowball other lanes.
Prevent Sion from scaling by maintaining lane dominance and punishing cooldowns, then leverage global pressure to close the game early.
